I got the BEST GIFT EVER.
My wife forgot our first Anniversary, and I didn't.

24yrs of Free Passes on that one folks.

She was busy taking care of the baby, lost track of the dates... She's the one who always remembers birthdays. I still have to look at my DL to find mine... LOL

I just use the 70 yr old,4 pack a day smoker voice.

Then gender doesn't matter :-)

I got engaged on Valentine’s Day. My ring is beautiful. My husband is more of a romantic that I ever could be. Over the years he has never forgotten Valentine’s Day. I have gotten cards, flowers, candy, and dinners in nice restaurants. Now he is in a nursing home. I took him a card and a box of chocolates. He cried that he didn’t get me anything. I reminded him of all the times that he did. It was a bittersweet day for the both of us.

HAD to +1 that one, evlwhtguy!

Always amazed on these "Holidays" that it seems only to go one direction. I have been married 40 years, but I personally never seem to have a wedding anniversary. Only the wife seems to have them.

HAHAHAH! Interesting how one chooses a "voice" for someone they've never met. And I don't recall anything you ever said that would indicate male or female. It's just the "voice" I always read your comments in. Now I gotta go find a different voice!

Well, I do enjoy picking flowers while I'm exploring in a video game. [grin]

And ALL this time I thought you were female! Knock me over with a feather!

Babylon Bee has the right of it. LMAO
Food is always a good idea for Valentine’s Day. We don't get out much these days, so I do some nice cooking on my own. No cards, no flowers (the cats eat them, cards too :) but we exchange our favorite treats--peanut butter cups and strawberry cream chocolate hearts. It works for us.

Cool.

I learned the basics in college, too, but later I learned to cook better than most restaurant chefs.
If I want to impress, I take a date to dinner at my place.

I taught myself how to cook in college when I rented a trailer without a TV so I could study by myself a heck of a lot better. My grades went up too.
I cook by keeping it simple. Never have baked a cake or a pie. Why should I? I can always buy one but I avoid doing that because I'm a Type 2 diabetic.
It's been years but me dino soon to turn 76 have baked 4 or 5 turkeys with the same kind of stuffing my dear departed mother used.

Yes, your gender guess is correct, and
I just wanted to go out to eat alone.
V-day is not a good time to do that. ;^)
I don't go near a stadium on game day either.
Not a big issue now.
It was less convenient before I had learned to cook well.

Let the lady chose what she wants to eat, you silly.
That way, if she doesn't like it, it can't be your fault.
Unless you're a lady. So far I've been thinking you're a guy.

You mean, other than the fact that the cost of a meal at my favorite restaurant is triple the normal price and they want me to eat things I don't like?
